Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page New York Blood Center has been reverted.
Your edit here to New York Blood Center was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_rKCpk035w) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:47, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, NYBC2014. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article New York Blood Center, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 22:19, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Article formatting

edit

Please note that articles generally have the title of the article in the first sentence, in bold. External links are not included in the article itself, but at the bottom. If you have any questions about this, please post them here. 331dot (talk) 23:03, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello, thanks for your interest in the New York Blood Center. There are two main reasons why the content you have added has been deleted.

  1. It is taken from the NYBC website and is copyrighted. Wikipedia cannot allow publishing in violation of copyright.
  2. The NYBC website cannot be cited anyway as it is a self published source. Please find a third-party reliable source.

If you have questions ask. I would love to see this and other New York health articles developed on Wikipedia. Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:44, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

June 2015: New York Blood Center

edit

Hi. I've reverted your edits on New York Blood Center because they reintroduced the copyrighted material that had been removed. Please see WP:COPYVIO. Also, given your Wikipedia username it seems likely that you have some relationship to the NYBC and so may have a conflict of interest in editing the article. Please see WP:COI. I see above that you've been warned before about these issues, and that you haven't responded. It would be helpful if you were more communicative here so we can figure out how best to improve the article! — J D (talk) 23:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I have again reverted your edits on the page, this time involving unexplained content removal. Please see the article talk page. — J D (talk) 03:00, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
